Teaching in Yukon Schools

The Yukon Department of Education is always interested in good teachers. We are seeking experienced and enthusiastic teachers who wish to live in the unparalleled beauty of Canada's northwest and who desire to work in a progressive jurisdiction. We want to hear from teachers with expertise in a variety of subject areas and from all Grade levels, K through 12.

Teachers who wish to apply to teach in one of the Yukon's 29 schools must hold or be eligible for certification in a Canadian province and be eligible for Yukon certification.

Preference for interviews will be given to those candidates with appropriate credentials who are interested in teaching in a rural setting. Only one application should be submitted. Applications are kept active for one year.

Yukon schools are modern and well-equipped and our classrooms are among the most 'connected' in North America. Most Yukon schools have multi-site, high speed internet access.

Yukon schools are set in a spectacular setting of mountains, forests and lakes. It is a place for the adventurous. Take a look inside. If you think you have the background and experience to meet the challenge of teaching in a rural setting, we hope you will contact us for a Teacher Recruitment Package and application.

The Yukon provides a generous subsidy to assist successful applicants in moving to the territory.

Our Teaching in the Yukon Handbook along with the rest of the information on this site, will answer many of your questions about teaching in the Yukon.
